I have a real problem with worrrying whether I have heard from God or not. I know I have missed so many opportunities because I just don't trust God enough to fix my mistakes.
I tend to be a perfectionist by nature. So bad to the point I have refused learning or trying new things becuase I either won't be able to do it perfectly or I will look like a fool trying.
I am ashamed to think of the things I have missed out on because of this.
More and more my desire is to just do what God asks me, whether I can do it perfectly or not. the problem is I second-guess whether I have really heard from God or not.
Was it God, or is it just me?
I have come to a conclusion that God is big enough to fix my mistakes. If my heart is to serve Him then if I miss Him, He is perfectly capable to make it o.k.
I try to think now that it is better to do something than sit on my butt and do nothing.
How many times does God have to send another person to do my work because I was unwilling to try. More times than I would want to think. So I guess if He is powerful enough to fix things when I flat refuse to obey then He is more than able to fix my oops when I am actually trying to serve Him.

Tracy,
I have found that most of the time when I question whether or not God is speaking to me I ask myself "would my flesh think of this?" Usually the answer is NO. Would my flesh want to call someone just to see how they are? NO! Would my flesh want to volunteer to help at church? NO! I also hate to mess up, but life is a series of mistakes. I think the key is to learn from them. If we never step out, how will we ever grow? Never taking a chance isn't living. I do know this is easier said than done and I am preachin at myself. I think that if you are following hard after God and it is your true heart to be obedient to Him then He isn't going to get upset with you for attempting to be obedient. Just my 2 cents worth, though.
